Rezensionen:

The original printing ofTesting Computer Softwareset the standard for the emerging field of test engineering with a full tour of the state of the art in managing the testing process. The reissued text makes this classic out-of-print text available once again. Though it relies heavily on older examples (including MS-DOS) and has not been updated, this text is still a worthwhile resource for practical-minded advice on the realities of testing.

The best thing aboutTesting Computer Softwareis its practical point-by-point guide to everyday software testing, from creating a test plan, to writing effective bug reports, to working with programming staff and management to fix bugs.

That said, this book's early frame of reference shows how far we've come. (The book relies heavily on MS-DOS examples and features some truly embarrassing anachronisms, including the mention of testing dot-matrix printers and even EGA/VGA video modes.) The bibliography stops at sources from 1992 and features many references from the 1980s. Nowadays, automated software testing tools are the staple of any testing strategy. This book even advocates a wait-and-see approach to the "new" Microsoft Test.

These limitations aside, there is still a good deal to mine here. Much of the approach to testing is still very valid for any aspiring or working test engineer. Clearly, readers of the first edition will have little reason to upgrade to this second edition, but for anyone who appreciates a "classic" (and indeed a pioneering) text in the field of software testing, it's good to haveTesting Computer Softwarein print again.--Richard Dragan

Computer software testing is absolutely essential to the success of any software company and, consequently, has become one of the most rapidly growing areas of employment in the industry. This is a must-have for students wanting entry-level positions as testers, experienced programmers who need to find errors fast or communicate with armies of testers, and project and test managers who need to choreograph the many people, deadlines, and expectations. It might even be a good book for people who have recently bought buggy operating systems that don't live up to the hype. Very Highly Recommended.-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
